Recollecting the treatment to which

sioners-the publisher of this paper
will not bid for any county printing
during the incumbency in Office Of the
present majority Of the board. How
ever. THE Sun will continue to pub
lish full reports of all county matters
that may be of any interest to its
readers.
Register G. F. .Wilkin. of the Ben
son land Office informs us that there
are now in that Office great many
patents that were issued from 1854 to
1883 on homesteads and prescriptions
in this district which have never
been called for by the original settlers
or later owners of such lands. This ii
matter that should be looked after
by all real estate owners. As these
patents are the original deeds from
the government, they should BE-
looked after and preserved and put
on file; they will prove valuable In
establishing titles etc. In many
eases the original settlers have sold
these lands and left the country. but
the original settlers0r present owners
who have not received their patents
can kare them forwarded by sending
duplicats receipt-or in case IL has
been lost,ian afiidavitawor to before
